Hi Friends!
Welcome back for more Elle's Studio awesomeness!
Today I am sharing the most beautiful CAS Christmas Cards!
And, the best part?
They're super quick & easy to re-create! And, thanks to the all new Elle's Studio Steel Crafting Dies you'll be able to whip them up in a matter of minutes! Let me tell you, these new Die Sets are serious game changers!
But enough chatter, here's the clean & simple cards for you...
Wow! Aren't they stunning?! Clean And Simple Christmas Cards for the win!
Elle's Studio Supplies: Layered Card Metal Die, Pocket Frame & Flip Up Metal Die, Very Merry Chipboard Stickers, Document December 2020 Kit, Fa La La 6 x 8.5inch Paper Stack, Christmas Basics 6 x 8.5 inch Paper Stack, & Wonder Wood Veneer Set.
Other Supplies: Bazzill Cardstock - Avalanche (2 sheets), Crystals, Button & Twine.
To create these cards, I simply trimmed my first sheet of cardstock into two 5" x 8" pieces, scored and folded at the 4" mark to create to white card bases. For my two larger cards, I trimmed the cardstock into two 5 1/2" x 8 1/2" pieces, and then scored and folded at the 4 1/4" mark.
Elle's Studio suggests that you,
"Use the dies to cut your layers, then add your sentiment and you have a beautiful card created in no time! You could also use this die to create shaker cards, add wood veneer or stamped sentiments, and MORE!"
And that's exactly how I made my sweet and simple cards!
No fancy tricks, or time wasting with measurements - those amazing Steel Craft Dies did all the hard work for me!
The fabulous Layered Card Metal Die made cutting a mix of pattern paper layers for my cards a dream! The dies cut so quickly, and with such precision! Between you & me, I'm partial to the faux stitched metal dies - no more machine stitching, but the same authentic look! Yay! Time (& maybe even a lil patience) saving at it's best! Thankyou, Elle!
I just loved the combination of the Fa La La and Christmas Basics 6 x 8.5inch Paper Stack papers together, and when layered with the Document December 2020 Kit note cards - well, I think the results speak for themselves! SO pretty!
Here's a closer look at all my CAS Christmas Cards....
The super cute Pocket, Frame & Flip Up Metal Die was perfect for adding tabs to my slightly larger cards, and those polaroid style frames to my smaller ones.
To add more interest, I foam mounted a couple of my card layers, and then added a few carefully chosen embellishments for finishing touches. I loved the pink and red cards, but I couldn't resist a lil Christmas green too...
The same CAS cards, just a mint and forest green color palette. So elegant!
Doesn't that faux stitching look amazing?! And let's no forget that scallop die - so intricate & yet it still cut through the paper like butter! LOVE!
Very crisp & elegant for Christmas!
